Allow us to introduce beach front living in the UK at its very best. Eastern House, as it is known, is a masterpiece on the water’s edge in Sandbanks, Dorset, designed by esteemed interior designer Celia Sawyer and Majestic Property Group. Internationally acknowledged, this unique peninsula forms its setting, with Sandbanks named as one of the most expensive places to live per square foot in the world.

Eastern House spans 5500sq ft across four floors. It is a house designed with opulence in mind, offering magnificent views across Poole Bay.

Celebrity interior designer, Celia Sawyer, took the unique, architectural exterior design as inspiration and has created a glamorous haven on the beach. Her style is lavish, glitzy, with the edge of cool, epitomising the very height of sophistication.

Five bedrooms, all with en suites, are arranged over the four floors, which are serviced by a lift. The home includes an indoor swimming pool and spa area, state of the art kitchen with all the mod-cons and luxuries one would expect in a house of this calibre.

The living room is an elegant retreat. Celia wanted to play to the stunning view whilst the house lends itself to being a social, entertaining space. Celia produced her own furniture, including a gunmetal grey, velvet sofa and chaise longue, with white piping detail, two white leather armchairs, a circular, mirrored coffee table with bevelled detailing, along with two mirrored cabinets made up of bevelled strips. It’s all bespoke and oozes with glamour. Celia’s choices for Eastern House include a lot of mirror to reflect the beautiful sea views, in addition to working with a variety of textures such as rich velvets, faux fur and leather which are immaculately placed to create an awe-inspiring work of art.

The formal dining room is exquisite, offering an eight person, bespoke dining room table and chairs, along with drinks cabinet and high-gloss sideboard. The spa area is a mecca of relaxation with large glass doors that open to reveal beautifully landscaped gardens leading to the beach.

The entrance hall is contemporary and offers immediate impact from custom-made, mirrored pillars which balance beautiful flower arrangements on top. This space is one of grandeur, almost like you’re walking into a five star hotel.

Moving on to the master bedroom; Celia opted for a strong colour scheme, meaning gold and cyan come together to showcase drama, colour and opulence. The bespoke ‘wave’ sofa and chairs again play to the natural elements of the sea.

This is another magnificent project by Celia Sawyer, providing the ultimate in luxury living by the sea. For further details on Celia’s work please visit www.celiasawyer.com

Approximately 2 hours from London by road or train and with national and international links at the nearby Bournemouth International Airport, Sandbanks is the ideal retreat for those looking to escape the pressures of city life.
